Nationalist Faction of Luxembourg

The Nationalist Faction was a reactionary political faction in Luxembourg that was active from 1836 to 1936. The faction, supported by the aristocracy and officer corps of the country, supported nationalism as a means to distract the people of the country from opposing the absolute monarchy. The party supported the aristocracy's privileges, the state's far-reaching powers, the contemporary social order, and a strong sense of nationalism. The faction was allies with the Conservative Faction of Luxembourg, and it was rivals with the Liberal Faction of Luxembourg.
